Welcome!

Welcome to the MovieLandmarks blog. I'm going to be discussing some of the behind the scenes work on the site here, as well as answering any questions visitors may have.

The MovieLandmarks site is a search engine for the filming locations of movies and TV shows. It is an AJAX site, using Javascript with PHP on the server side, that allows you to explore the landmarks in a variety of ways. You can search by movie title, location or browse the movies in the database. You can also use Google Earth to view them.

Right now the production site is a bit slow -- the way I originally wrote the javascript was not optimized for so many landmarks (over 350 at last count!). I am working on a faster system that will hopefully be rolled out soon.
